Good article. Spot on. As for the schedule, all 32 teams play the same number of games over the same number of days by the end of the season. It is up to the coaching staff to manage rest and have players ready to go regardless if they are in a tough or easy section of the grind. I think we have the right coaches in place to do this. I seem to remember a season in the past where we were great on the road and not so good at home. Maybe during Hartley's run? Seeing the metrics Bingo posted sure makes me feel like it is more of a bump in the road than how the rest of the games will play out. Sure seems like the things flames fans have to complain about these days are much different problems than most would have thought prior to the season starting. Been a while since I've been this interested at this point of the season. Get the win percentage at home up a little and what more could we ask of this team?
